Hello All: I have a discussion post/forum assignment, that requires a slight twist. In addition to creating their initial post, I am asking my students to also post a 2 questions (based on readings) for class discussion. At the end of the posting period, I would like my students to get back into the discussion forum and…

When I go through and add grades for my students (some of which include an extra credit point or two), the assignment automatically resets the Total…
I'm finding it difficult to reach the "Submit" button in the comment section on SpeedGrader. Why do we have to scroll down? Even if I make the sidebar wider, the submit button does not show up. The grade automatically submits, can the comment also? Or can the submit button be moved up so it is on one screen.
Previously, we used our SIS to generate a user id using a student's SIS ID plus an additional number. I found that parents would lose this information and it would become difficult for them to login to Canvas without asking me for help. What if we now use the parents' email addresses as their user ids and login ids? Are…
